Norton firewall is blocking windows firewall even thou windows has norton on the accept programs. I still havent figured it out, how to make norton accept windows firewall.
Anybody ever had the same problem?

Others have already beat me, but I want to add that both opinions are right: 1) never run 2 firewalls at the same time, at best it will slow your machine down, it also could hang the machine or even open up security holes.
And 2) *don't* use Windows firewall, it is indeed a joke. If you do a little web research you can see it is the absolute minimal thing they can do to say they have a firewall. Norton is probably OK, but there are much better ones out there for free. I use Jetico, which is really good (lots of control), but a little difficult to learn how to use. There are other free ones, comodo is getting really good reviews.

You NEVER want to run 2 firewalls at the same time. It will really mess up your computer. That is why Norton turned it off.

It is never a good idea to have two firewalls. The firewalls can interfere with eachother and cause problems. Disable one of the firewalls.

turn off your windows firewalls. Your Norton has a worm protection in it that will do what windows can. It is okay to turn it off and safe.
